Hello everyone! I am your old friend—the shelf expert Xiao Lingtong. Today, let's talk about those indispensable helpers in malls and warehouses: various types of shelves! Understanding their features and suitable scenarios can make your space planning twice as effective with half the effort~
[ Light-duty Shelves ]——Compact and flexible little expert
Features: Simple and lightweight structure, moderate load capacity (usually no more than 200kg per layer). Super easy to install and dismantle, and can freely combine and adjust height and width.
Suitable scenarios: Ideal for storing small and lightweight items, such as stationery stores, boutique accessory shops, or office file organization areas. Especially suitable for places where items need to be frequently accessed, making it very convenient for staff to find goods!
[ Medium-duty Shelves ]——The king of cost performance appears
Features: More stable and durable than light-duty shelves, with a single-layer load capacity reaching several hundred kilograms. The columns and beams use a plug-in design, greatly enhancing stability. The surface is treated with anti-rust coating for longer lifespan.
Suitable scenarios: The best partner for supermarket daily necessities areas and pharmacy health product displays! It can bear a certain weight without being too bulky, making daily restocking and organizing easy. Many convenience stores also love using it to create a neat and uniform visual effect.
[ Heavy-duty Shelves ]——The industrial-grade tough guy
Features: Made of high-quality steel, single-layer load capacity easily exceeds a ton! Used with pallets and forklifts to achieve mechanized storage and retrieval. Modular components can be extended infinitely.
Suitable scenarios: The first choice for large warehouse logistics centers and raw material warehouses in manufacturing. Places like auto parts factories and building material wholesale markets simply can't handle massive goods pressure without it! Paired with forklifts, efficiency is maximized.
[ Mezzanine Shelves ]——The smart choice for gaining space upwards
Features: Design combining conventional shelves at the bottom with an upper platform, effectively turning a flat space into a three-dimensional one. Stairs or lifts assist movement up and down, making full use of vertical space.
Suitable scenarios: Suitable for retail stores with limited floor space but rich SKUs, and material rooms in creative studios. Clothing stores can place new season items upstairs and off-season items downstairs; workshops can categorize tools and raw materials on different levels.
[ Flow-through Shelves ]——The intelligent steward for first-in, first-out
Features: Inclined slides allow goods to automatically flow to the front, following the "first-in, first-out" principle. No manual handling needed for turnover, reducing loss rates.
Suitable scenarios: Essential for industries sensitive to shelf life like fresh produce areas and bakeries! Cold chain warehouses also often use this design to ensure ingredient freshness.
Dear bosses, choosing shelves is like dressing your store—fit is the most important! Next time you plan your display, consider which type suits your needs best~ If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and discuss!
